I am completely uncomfortable with the phrase "undue offence". As I said, that could mean anything to anybody. No definition or clarity has been given. Can the Minister give me an example of what would be deemed "undue offence"? If somebody were to give an opinion, whether it be political, non-political or anything at all, what constitutes "undue offence"? We are seeking to put something in legislation and there is no clarity around it. The Chair could say something to me and I might take offence, but the person sitting beside me might think no offence was meant. We are putting this into law. Seriously, can the Minister please define "undue offence"?
